haha i know man i completely agree, but the inside door jam of the truck says "225" for stock tires, and believe me, they were the wimpiest things i had ever seen! My last ram had 265's, much better looking. Thanks for the info!
And as far as a recalibration that someone else had mentioned in the thread, how much would that be and what's involved? I didn't know that could be done, sounds like that would fix everything, the mph, mpg, etc.

I think all the door jams say that, mine does and it came with 265's when I bought it new.
As far as re-calibrating your speedo, it can surely be done, but its not as simple as plugging in a tuner and pushing buttons. Since your truck is a 97, I believe you have to change the small sprocket(s) for the speedo, which I am not even sure where they are located, nor where to get the proper size replacement. Someone smart will chime in.

yeah for right now i can just calculate the mpg's with the percent correction, which i have looked up and found the adjustment to be 8.6%. As far as mph and true odometer readings though id really like to correct that sometime in the future. I went to my local dodge dealership this morning and asked if the speedo can be recalibrated for bigger tires and they said it "Can't be done." so anybody have any other ideas? I really dont wanna do a superchips or anything like that.
